Hello!

I have some problem with sending mail through smtp.gmail.com

I use:
Drupal 6.14
Module SMTP Authentication Support -6.x-1.0-beta3
PHPMailer v5.1

In module settings I put:

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP backup server:
SMTP port: 465
Use encryption protocol: SSL

Username: xxxx@xxxxx //mailbox on gmail.com
Password: *********

I send a test e-mail, but get error:

SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
Error SMTP: Unable to connect to server SMTP

Who knows what is wrong? Please, help!

The problem concludes in hosting settings. Hosting provider closed outgoing ports for mail. These ports are available on vip tariff. Much money - more opportunities.......

Please, don't change the Priority, it'd not meant for that.

If you can't connect to server there must be some wrong settings. The issue reporter said the problem was on the server, not on SMTP or PHPMailer. If you have more debug info or a different problem, please open a new issue instead of replying here.
